In the late afternoon, she had finished the most pressing matters of the company. So something came in to her mind, she would need to go and search for Doctor Iris. This time it wasn’t for her father’s sake but for hers. Her father will just have to understand her.She wanted to be friends with her. That way, she can learn more about her back ground and what she does. She couldn’t believe that she was doing this but things sometimes happen in a twisted way. Recently, she had requested Jared for Dean’s number and he gave it to her without any troubles. She never thought that one day she would need it.“Hello sweetie” the man joked the moment he saw the number. He had a true caller installed in his phone which gave him the identity of the incoming caller. Though he was surprised, he knew that Celine must have called for a very important reason.She has never really trusted them due to the fact that they maltreated her in the past.Celine rolled her eyes at the sound of his voice. In f
Honestly Nolan didn’t care whether the woman was dead or not. He only wanted to confirm it with his own eyes. When he reached the scene of accident, he was surprised that the woman lying inside the vehicle unconscious was Celine.There was a bruise on her delicate face and blood was coming from her lips.” Celine, who did you wrong now? This woman is cursed. She has never really lived abnormal life” Nolan muttered thoughtfully as he stood staring at her. Deep inside, he still had a soft spot for her since she had the nerve to stand up against him.“Nolan, why are you still standing there? Let us pull her out, she might be hurting” Victor reminded him and only then did they start to act. In a jiffy, they pulled her out. She was still unconscious. Nolan took her phone and searched through, to his surprise the last number that she called was Dean. If he guessed properly the two friends of Jared hated her, so he didn’t understand what they were talking about. Nolan dialed it and Dean pi
But now looking at Nolan, he realized that the guy did care about Celine. May be, he wasn’t the one that did something to her. However, he couldn’t come up with a name, they just talked a few minutes ago and he didn’t know what to make out of the situation.“What the fuck is going on here? Get your hands off her this minute” Dean yelled and Nolan looked at him with a sneer” what took you so long? I told you that it was an emergency. Do you wish to see her dead?”What an asshole? Dean cursed impatiently. Here, he was arguing with this good for nothing instead of taking care of Celine. Jared will skin him alive if he gets to hear that he stalled in treating Celine.“Yeah if you would have had the audacity to call your rival, enemy or cousin, we wouldn’t be in this position. Whatever you might want to call Jared is none of my business. The fact remains that you should have told him to bring his chopper, then we might have been able to save time.” At that moment, Nolan really hated hims
“Mason….this is the reason why, we get along very well. Now here is the thing, find the culprit immediately. Don’t do anything to them, bring them to me so that I can show them who I am”“Got it boss” Mason said while smiling.“Alright, step on it and fly like a bird. My woman needs me.” He instructed and the man complied.Meanwhile, Iris was waiting for Celine to come and see her. It has taken quite some time from the time she was scheduled to appear, so she took it upon herself to go and look for Dean.The man was walking on the corridor after making sure that Celine was okay. He happened to spot Iris, He couldn’t help it but recognize that the woman bore some resemblance to someone he knew but he just could remember.“Doctor King, what happened? I have been waiting for the woman and she hasn’t shown up” her face was worried.Dean stammered,” I am sorry Iris, but there has been a change of plans. Unfortunately, Celine has been involved in a road accident and she is currently in ICU
Oh……Sweet Celine, you are so innocent and naïve. Haven’t you realized that you have enemies surrounding you everywhere? Did you hit yourself so hard in the accident until you became dumb” Jared said jokingly. “I know, I have many enemies but they have never made an attempt on my life. They have been only good in insulting me and calling me names. Perhaps, it was because I am used to their methods and that was why they wanted me dead” Celine was thoughtful before she realized that there was another person in the room.“Doctor Iris, did you come to see me? “She asked and then smiled gently at her. If someone was around, they would have realized how connected the two were even though Celine still didn’t understand why. I am sorry that I missed on our appointment but as soon as I feel better I will come and see you, okay” The woman nodded and then left the room but a certain man didn’t like what was happening in front of him.“Celine, why didn’t you tell me that you were going to meet t
Jared knew that Celine was alone but what was important to him right now was to apprehend the criminal. After that he will be by her side day and night, he will see to it that she was comfortable personally. On his way to the location, he called Mason.“Where the hell are you? Did you find out anything?” his voice vibrated over the phone and Mason could definitely feel the impatience in it.“Boss, I wanted to tell you but I figured out that you were still busy with Celine. Someone was already here and I am being told that Nolan came and caused chaos. The company security had no option but to give him the details because he threatened them.”Jared granted “that is not news to me, Mason. You should be quick to attend to the assignments that I have sent you to do. Did you go to see your girlfriend or what? This man always gets me angry when I don’t want to. Please come to the address I am sending you in the next few minutes.” He clicked and ended the phone conversation,In a jiffy, he
“Please it wasn’t me, it was Joel” April confessed."Really…..did I ask you for any information?" Jared glared at her darkly until she recoiled. She couldn’t believe that this was the same man that she was once crazy for. It was a good thing that Celine took him, she wouldn’t have had the patience to deal with him “But I am innocent, I can’t be punished for what I didn’t do. I promise that I only harassed Celine when I wanted you back then but since I realized that you weren’t interested in me, I started minding my own business”Nolan glared at Joel , he never liked the man . He was always disgusted with him from the moment he saw how he snatched NC Corporation land. He swore that he will get him one day, but the opportunity has presented itself earlier than he had projected.” Mister, weren’t you the one who grabbed my land? The company might not be mine now but I hold it dear to my heart.”He smoked a little and then continued” Did you just hire the quake lawyer to damage my compa
If he thought that Jared would just walk away like that then he was wrong. He had miscalculated his moves, no one dared the man and gets to have the last laugh. Jared had expected this from Nolan, so he came prepared. Today, he will give him a taste of what he can do. The good thing was that they weren’t with his family and he didn’t have to restraint himself. If he wanted, he could kill him once and for all.Oh…….he would like to end him but his grandfather will be so sad. He will think that he did it because he didn’t want to work with him in Walker Corporation. How would he explain to him that the man kept on pushing him to the edge?Jared couldn’t dare to look at his grandfather’s face knowing that he was the cause of his sorrow. Besides, Celine wouldn’t like that he had killed the man, he still wondered why his woman was that soft hearted. With a lazy attitude, Jared sat down on Nolan’s chair like king. He crossed his legs and glared at him intimidatingly more like telling him
“Watch your words, idiot. I love weddings and not all the marriages go wrong. I believe in Lina and me. Alright …. shut up already “Ivan scolded.Jared grinned at the two with a triumphant face.“I am just kidding. Anyway, I am happy for the both of you. Make this lovely woman happy. “Jared said and then left to say hello to Alexis and Jason. He hasn’t found time to visit them and so he was glad to catch up with them.Back at the other corner, the boys were chatting when they saw two beautiful women entering inside the hall. They knew that they were Lina’s recently found cousins. She introduced them when they went on one of their evenings out on which the boys and the girls were present.Nolan grabbed Rita’s hands and pulled her aside. He hasn’t stopped to fantasize about her. Ever since he saw her, she was all that he could think about day and night . He knew that if he didn’t do something ASAP, he was going to lose his second chance at finding love. He wanted to settle down and have
“Of course, this is a fucking yes. Let us make another baby. May be, she will be a girl so that your grandmother can tell me her name.” Celine said with affectionShe had grown to love Old Madam Walker so much and she wanted to please her. She was the only grandmother that she has.“Or maybe he will be another boy and my grandmother won’t hesitate to kick your ass” Jared joked as Celine wrapped her hands around his neck. ” Anyway, you could have simply asked me to tell you her name. You are just being silly, sweetie.” Jared whispered in her ears while nibbling on them. She so fucking liked the excitement that she was getting from the simple gesture.“Okay, wherever …a child is a child and as long as he/she will be yours, it doesn’t matter the gender. Anyway, I wanted grandma to tell me her name herself. Can we get to the business because I am ovulating and this is the best time to conceive?“Huh……” he hummed and then started kissing her furiously. Before they knew it, they were lyin
After the incidence, Celine didn’t go out much. She would spend her time at home taking care of Isaac. It was a good thing that Alma was still around and she was helping with the management of the N.C Corporation in Mombasa. Ever since Alma came to Mombasa, Celine’s uncle, Lucas Nelson found his way to manage the Nairobi branch. Finally, he got his hands on his late brother’s company the moment Alma left.Alma said that she was too old to fight with him so she gave up to raise her grandchildren. Nothing was more important than Isaac and Celine. She would give up just anything for their sake and she would sacrifice her career for them.In the evening, Jared came back from work. He was looking at her funnily and she didn’t know what he had in his crazy mind.“Sweetheart, spill it. I almost died the other day you know “up to now, she was still traumatized at the thought of April and her mother getting to them. She had thought that the two had learned their lesson but apparently, they de
But the police were on their trail shooting from all directions. They tried but they couldn’t match up to the number of the police that was sent to pursue them.Buy accident the tires busted after being hit by the bullet and before they knew it, they were thrown in to the man-made lake on the side of the tarmac road. The police surrounded the lake from all sides to prevent them from escaping and by the time that the car had been pulled out, the both of them were already dead.Joel was hit on the chest and was unconscious when he was found and taken to the hospital When he woke up, Patrick was by his side and he couldn’t believe the state that he was in. He was no longer the babbly and healthy Joel that he used to know. He was thin and pale. He looked like he had aged a bit and Patrick couldn’t bear to look at him.“Oh…. Joel. what have you done to yourself? I told you that it wouldn’t end up well for you. Those two were snakes. I lived with them and I knew them very well. why didn’t
“Daddy, life is too short to keep on having unnecessary beef. Look at what happened to Jared, he has forgiven Nolan and his mother. It was like they were never the people that he hated with his life. He is now at peace with himself. I wish you could see him today. He is not the Jared we used to know. Always angry and sad. Please just hear him out, he might be having something important to tell you.” Celine begged.She always had a way of reaching out to him. Patrick felt sad suddenly. Celine was right in a way. All this time, it has been eating him up like hell. He wouldn’t be at peace knowing that his only brother was suffering while he enjoyed life and had such a wonderful family.Perhaps it was time to hear him out once and for all.As if on a cue, Joel called again and this time, he picked it up.“Joel, what do you want?” he asked emotionlessly.“Listen, I don’t have much time to talk or explain things but your life and Celine’s s life is in danger. Your car is being followed an
After a few days, Celine went to visit her dad. It has been long since she saw him. Patrick Rowan was happy nowadays. Together with Iris, they were trying to build the pieces of their life back together and she couldn’t help but admire their spirit.It was admirable. Finally, life had granted the two of them another chance to experience good days. Gone are the days that her father would be insulted like a little kid. Gone are the days that she would look at his loneliness and wished that she could take his place.“Daddy…” She called as soon as she saw him.“Baby” Patrick hasn’t forgotten how he used to call her and he had maintained it to the end. Iris only smiled loving the way the two loved each other. She knew that she could never match up to them but as long as Celine was happy, then she had nothing to worry about.“Mum, how are you?” She asked as she kissed her cheeks.“I am great dear. I am happy to hear the good news that Jared reconciled with his family. Now you are going to
“Why not my sweet little daughter in law. I love you and remember that we are only focusing on the future. No more dramas or immature behavior from me, I want to be a good mother and a grandmother, okay. You made my son happy and that is why I will have you as my daughter in law. Thank you.”“No…. Thank you for giving me such a good man as my husband. “Celine smiled as she looked at Jared and his father.“Oscar, congratulations on your wedding. I never came to the ceremony.” Celine cracked a joke and the family laughed about it.“No, it was a quick one and I am glad that I made that decision. You should have seen how my wife was aggressive with me but who is smiling now? I want her to know that despite what has happened between us, I am glad that she gave me a beautiful family. I never even dreamt that I will one day become a grandfather. Thank you, darling, I love you from the bottom of my heart.“I love you right back “Danna smiled“No need to talk anymore. I want to celebrate with
Enzo gladly went and together they hugged their mother consuming her in to an embrace that stole her soul all over again.“Enzo, baby. I love you so much. You two are my life right now. ” Danna muttered as she kissed Enzo on the cheeks. The man chuckled as he replied “ I love you too Mommy and I love that we can now be a normal family with Jared . Oh…I waited for this day for so long, damn it . I wanted to tell my brother that I didn’t mean to cause him trouble in the past. All that I wanted was for him to notice me and consider me as his brother but he was so full of hate that I didn’t know how to reach out to him. ““I am so sorry for my behavior in the past. I am the one who should be asking for forgiveness. I was jealous for the love that our mother gave you. You have to understand that I watched you have everything that I didn’t. so, I found myself hating you even when I knew that you were innocent but it won’t happen again because I will never break up my family. I couldn’t
“Come here, sweetie.” Old Mr. Gavin called. Did she hear it right? was this arrogant man calling her sweetie? When did he start to grow fond of her? wonders shall never end. Danna was now being pampered by the very people who loathed her in the past.“Mmh….are you calling Oscar? “She asked dumbfound.“No….it is you, Danna. Why should I call that bastard that denied me a chance to be with my grandkids like an idiot? Does he even deserve for me to pamper him?” the man snarled. “Dad, you are being unfair and you know it. I also suffered, why must you complain and blame me for everything bad in our lives? “Oscar complained.“I love you son , but sometimes you let me down. I am just going to bear with you because Jared has finally come to me. I can feel it that he has decided to come home, something that should have happened earlier if not for your incompetence. Listen, I know that you haven’t been a good mother to him but the most important thing is that you are trying to make it up t
